Patent number: 9886558Abstract: A system and method for creating a unique alias associated with an individual identified in a health care database such that health care data, and particularly pharmaceutical-related data, can be efficiently gathered and analyzed. The system has a first store for storing at least one record where each record includes a plurality of identification fields which when concatenated uniquely identify an individual, and at least one health care field corresponding to health care data associated with the individual. The system also has a second data store, and a processor. The processor selects a record of the first data store, then selects a subset of the plurality of identification fields within the selected record, and concatenates the selected subset of identification fields. Then the processor stores the concatenated identification fields in a record in the second store with at least one health care field from the selected record of the first data store.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2015Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignee: Quintiles IMS IncorporatedInventors: N. Stephen Ober, John Grubmuller, Maureen Farrell, Charles Wentworth, Thomas Gilbert, Kevin Barrett, Steven Davis, Erik Nordman, Randell Grenier
